Re: catalina27-talk: mast step

[James Calleran]

The mast step on my '76, #2784, has one threaded hole on each side.  The mast has corresponding holes.  I believe they accepted #10 machine screws, and, presumably, are there to keep the mast from "popping" out of the base.  Although, with the tension created by the shrouds, this seems unlikely.

Hello, I,m getting ready to put the mast up on my 1975 C-27 for the first time and noticed there are 4 holes in the bottom of the mast and in the cabin top mast base, however there are no connectors to be found. What do I use? pins? screws? any help with this would be much appreciated and thanks in advance. Kind regards, Mike. C-27 hull# 1801
